Identities Through the Archive demonstrates identities that are rarely given a voice. These short and experimental films are an unapologetic and raw depiction of identities that have faced criticism based on their existence. The visuals and audio expand on the theme of voyeurism that surrounds identities in the queer space and the public sphere. The viewer is made to feel uncomfortable by the invasiveness of specific clips — to question the inherent presence of societal normalities regarding identity and deconstruct and abolish gender roles through the expression of fragmented sensory, gentle, raw, and thought-provoking imagery.

TERRITORY & SOLIDARITY: The daily work of CFMDC takes place in Tkaronto (Toronto) which is covered by Treaty 13 signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaty signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands. We also acknowledge The Dish with One Spoon treaty between the Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee that covers the land of what is now called southern Ontario. We work with the knowledge of the importance of recognition of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the four First Nations Principles of OCAP®. As a Media Arts organization we draw your attention to the work of the National Indigenous Media Arts Coalition (NIMAC). As part of  anti-colonial solidarity, CFMDC board and staff proudly commits to the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI). Calls to support PACBI and the wider Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) come from Palestinian civil society and are grassroots strategies opposing the colonization of Palestine by directly targeting complicity.
